A
Fact
B
Opinion
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Caractacus is probably Thomas Jefferson’s most well-known riding horse. Foaled on May 7, 1775, he was the offspring of Jefferson’s mare Allycroker and Young Fearnought (owned by William Dandridge), a descendant of the Godolphin Arabian.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jefferson loved far more than these ten things – his family, wine, science, France, horseback riding, the violin, and contradicting himself, to name just a few – but all those things are hard to illustrate with a doll whose knees don’t bend.

Detailed explanation-3: -It offers freedom, movement, and makes amazing feats of athleticism possible. And there is a total thrill with galloping across an open field, in tune with your mount. Horse riding is hard work! If you think that the horse does all the work, you have to think again.

Detailed explanation-4: -Jefferson is best known for his role in writing the Declaration of Independence, his foreign service, his two terms as president, and his omnipresent face on the modern nickel.
